The Virgins – Rich Girls

It doesn’t make sense that a band masquerading as rock stars should sound so very much like some kind of 70s funk, but if there’s one thing The Virgins do really well, its taking the concept of sense and giving it a good hiding. Its completely irresistible and should get the most stubborn of people on their feet and dancing like nobodies watching, doing things with their hips they never even knew were possible. There appears to be a complete disregard towards any of the inhibitions that hold back too many of their peers, and in ‘Rich Girls’, this is replaced by a simple desire for music that both they and us can have ourselves a bit of fun to.
